[Me__2001]

this is possibly the best way to play MS Flight Sim, ok so 13 screens is kinda overkill but it does look cool

That would be so fun to fly I wonder how he managed to get 16 screens though? Is the Matrox card out at the moment 8-head?

 

[Me__2001]

i found the link on some website, and have no ide how they did it, they could use a load of PCI graphics cards

Now THAT looks like fun!

 

[G~MAN]

You haven't watched Flight Sim Friday on Discovery wings

then you will see something FAR better

You use whats called an epic card to link several machines together to run one program at the same time to combine things...

 

[Me__2001]

that must be why theres several PC's in the pic

 

[ChristopherP]

Yep - it's how you can have so many monitors, yet good performance - the game shares the computers power.

 

[G~MAN]

woudnt it miss a few things though :s ... like in the gaps betwwen the moniters ?

 

[ChristopherP]

i dont think it would see the gaps - it would go straight from the end of one to the beginning of the other.

Now thats cool!
if you get the screens mixed up, its like a puzzel

Hey Guys, try this one

Use any spare PC as a dual monitor screen for your primary PC. No extra hardware
required. It connects via lan.

That's one hell of a setup.

It puts my 4 screens to shame!
